Tandem Studios’ business growth prompts Auckland presence

New Zealand's leading provider of online video, Tandem Studios,
has established an Auckland-based team.

Tandem Studios was established in Christchurch in 1974 and
continues to operate from its central city, full production studio.

The company has established itself as a leading content creation
expert in New Zealand and works in all areas of media including radio, social
media, animation, television and online.

Tandem Studios has developed a particular expertise in live
streaming and webcasting and creating video archives using its own LaBonTM
(Living and Breathing Online Newsletter) websites to create online
video archives that viewers can access on any screen.

"The aim of LaBonTM is to make it easy for people to
find, view and share content", says 'Tandem Studios' Managing Director Dave
Dunlay. "It is a fantastic content platform that solves the issue of how to
search through a large amount of video content and easily locate just the clip
you're looking for."

The establishment of Tandem Studios' Auckland-based team comes
hard on the heels of it having won the contract to provide live webcasting and a
LaBonTM video archive of meetings for Auckland Council. This service
began on 5 February.

Tandem Studios also provides similar services to the House of
Representatives (via www.inthehouse.co.nz),
Christchurch and Wellington city councils, the Taupo District Council and the
Hawke's Bay Regional Council.

"We already have several key clients in Auckland in addition to
Auckland Council," says Mr Dunlay, "and our Auckland-based team will allow us
to provide an even more responsive service to both existing and new clients in
the Auckland region and beyond."

Tandem Studios' Auckland clients include MiNDFOOD magazine, the
Public Relations Institute of New Zealand, several Auckland schools and the "Big Boys Toys" event.

"I am really delighted that the quality of the work that we
produce has allowed us to expand and establish a permanent Auckland presence," says Mr Dunlay.

A camera/video operator and a sales person will be based in
Auckland, with Tandem Studios in Christchurch providing the voiceover,
animation, editing and creative skills.

"We look forward to working with more Auckland businesses and
organisations and to continuing to provide a great service to our current
Auckland clients."
